Volvo Penta Is Expanding Its Operations Volvo Penta is expanding its operations at a facility in Lexington, to enable the finalization in assembling its industrial versatile – variable speed – diesel engines. The new production line will improve the customization of orders and reduce delivery lead times for the company ’ s growing customer base in the North American market. Since introduction of its Tier 4 Final range in 2014, Volvo Penta has experienced significant growth in the industrial market including segments such as material handling, construction, raw material exploration, ground support, agriculture, forestry, power generation, and other specialist applications. A key contributor to this growth has been the fuel efficiency of the engines, as well as the company ’ s selective catalyst reduction (SCR) emission-reduction technology that reduces downtime and total cost of ownership. “ Over the past four years, our industrial business has increased substantially ...

Introduction of Engine Control Module   Function The engine control module basically controls the intersection of the engine 's necessary ingredients to make energy -- fuel, air and spark. That sounds simple, kind of in the same way an engine itself sounds simple if you break it down into really basic terms. But the ECM accomplishes its considerable chore by constantly monitoring a vast network of sensors around the car to ensure conditions are within normal operating range. When something goes wrong, the ECM adjusts conditions or, if it can't, the car won't run properly or at all. When there's a problem, the ECM stores a trouble code so it can be diagnosed by a mechanic (with a scanner specifically designed for that purpose) and triggers the check engine light  so the driver knows something's wrong. Newer engine computer systems also feature lightweight, low-cost memory systems that can be easily accessed by the dealership to fix programming issues and upd...

Test set-up and experimentation The feasibility of using the Taguchi method to optimize selected engine design/operating parameters for low emission was investigated using a Dhandapani Foundary (DPF) diesel engine in Part-I1. In order to examine whether the variation in key combustion parameters have the same effect and influence on every diesel engine of any make, the same research methodology was adopted on TEXVEL diesel engine with the same hardware configurations. Extensive research into the mechanisms governing diesel combustion and emissions has already been reported2,3. The vast amount of investigation done in the diesel combustion and emissions still not well understood due to the complex interrelationships that exist between combustion system parameters and fuel injection system parameters. Taguchi developed multivariate experimental techniques4,5 using orthogonal design arrays that allow one to isolate the effect of a single parameter on a particular response charac...
